Agnes by Tony Cochran for January 17, 2023

I suggest “frrrt” – 3 R’s

“Hola” works for me.

Beloafing is a word that means saying a word just to hear the sound of it. I think that’s what’s going on here.

At this rate, Agnes is going to lose interest way before she has completed her new language.

How about: “Tony, it’s time to retire.”

This has been tried a number of times before, and has never really worked. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_constructed_languages#International_auxiliary_languages

I’d vote for “fuppy”.

Avoid “fuppy”, Trout. It’s already used in too many languages as a cuss word.

Sup?

How about a roar like Chewbacca’s?

I’m nominating “Oowoo”. Easy to pronounce, pleasant and non-threatening. You can easily convince yourself it was your baby’s first word. It can be repeated/stretched out adorably when talking to babies and dogs (“oowoowoowoowoo”).

Yo.

Interesting historical note about the word “hello” which most Americans “use” to answer a summons to the telephone.

Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone, wanted people to use the word, “Ahoy”, when answering that summons…

Faversham everybody.

おはようございます！

I prefer the Pink Floyd greeting of Hey You
